Here we go again

Well, it's Saturday.

No overtime tonight, which I'm happy about.  The money would have been nice, but so is staying in on this cold day.  I would never have made it as an eskimo!  Brr!!!!   Let me say that again.... brrrr!

I accomplished a little bit of grocery shopping yesterday afternoon before work.  I told my stealth roommate we needed to start eating up the tomatoes we bottled.  On the stove there is a pot of red sauce cooking.  I had some of our green peppers from the garden in the freezer, to I tossed some of those in as well.  Of course, now there's a problem, because well, nothing I do can be simple.

I can't decide on what to make using said red sauce and I have to make a decision quickly.  It's either gonna be spaghetti, chicken parmesan, or lasagna.  If I make zagne, I'll be eating it for a week.  I have the stuff and whether or not I make it today, I'll make it this week.  If I make chicken parmesan, I can make spaghetti on the side and use the same pot.  Or I can just make spaghetti with either meatballs or italian sausages.  I have everything I need.

So, what's the problem?  It all sounds good and the same sauce is the basic ingredient for all, but it's what to do with the mushrooms?  If I'm making spaghetti, I use button mushrooms.  Whole ones.  Everything else needs sliced mushrooms, because, I'm me and that's the way it is.

I have both.

I think I'll use the sliced ones and just see what happens.

It's hard cooking for one.  So many choices....

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

The Declaration they made.

-
 Tomorrow is Independence Day.  It's the day we celebrate the birthplace of the idea of the United States of America.  Constitution Day comes later this year.  On the 4th, we celebrate the document signed that signified that Americans wanted to be a free people, under self-rule and free from the tyranny of their king. In the opening salvo of the document, they clearly point out that the rights they believe all men should have are given by their Creator.  According to the law of non-contradiction, the truths they hold to be "self-evident" (great words, are they not?) about how the Creator of the Universe blessed them with being created equal, says that for these words to be actually true, the Creator must be.  He cannot not be and have the Declaration of Independence be a truthful document. Our freedoms in America hinge on that document.  The people then fought a war over it.  We've been fighting wars ever since to keep and protect those freedoms....
